ISM specializes in high-intensity ultrasonic systems for industrial applications. In our systems, ultrasonic transducers are matched to cavitating liquids, maximizing the transference of the available acoustic energy. This is achieved by using our patented designs of Barbell Horns, which provide high vibration amplitudes (up to 180 mp-p at 20 kHz) and large output diameters (up to 70 mm) simultaneously.

ISM does not mass-produce its technology; however, it does offer laboratory and industrial-scale prototypes to potential customers interested in the possibility of licensing. Technical consulting to support the manufacturing effort is available.

Common high-gain acoustic horns (boosters) used in sonochemical reactors converge in the output direction and provide the necessary vibration amplitude amplification only at the expense of the output surface area. This leads to their inability to produce high-intensity cavitation in large volumes of treated liquids, rendering them useless for many industrial processes that cannot occur below sufficient levels of ultrasonic intensity. Our flow-through sonochemical reactors are based on Barbell Horns, capable of increasing vibration amplitudes while retaining output surface areas and accurately matching ultrasonic transducers to liquid loads at cavitation.  Productivity of each reactor is up to 10,000 L/h (in aqueous loads), static pressure is up to 50 atm, absorbed acoustic power (measured by direct calorimetry of water) is up to 3.2 kW.
